[The type in Moses we confess]
In which time Moses was born, and was, &c.
—vii. 20.
The type in Moses we confess
Born in a time of great distress,
And born divinely fair:
But who of all the sons of men,
When once the Antitype is seen
With Jesus can compare?
Born in a time of great distress,
And born divinely fair:
But who of all the sons of men,
When once the Antitype is seen
With Jesus can compare?
Born to fulfil the promises,
His captive people to release,
In a strange land He lives;
And persecuted from His birth,
The lot of all His saints on earth
With meekest love receives.
His captive people to release,
In a strange land He lives;
And persecuted from His birth,
The lot of all His saints on earth
With meekest love receives.
